Climate change impacts
Climate change is a variation in temperature and precipitation for longer periods due to global warming. It has an impact on tree species distribution, composition and diversity of the forests. Our study aims to answer how future climate change is likely to have an impact on the vegetation shift of broad-leaved and coniferous forests. The study used forest resource assessment data (2010-2014) of Nepal to assess vegetation shift from the perspecti…
Do Local Perceptions of Climate Variability and Changes Correspond to Observed Climate Changes? A Comparative Study from Nepal as One of the Most Climate-Vulnerable Countries
This study explored people’s perceptions of climate change by conducting interviews and focus-group discussions with local residents of three ecological regions of Nepal, i.e., mountain, midhills, and lowland. Climatic measurements from meteorological stations of the regions were acquired for the period from 1988 to 2018. We compared the people’s perception with trends and variabilities of observed temperature and rainfall patterns. The results s…
Who shapes the environmental policy in the global south? Unpacking the reality of Nepal
Developing indicators for participatory forest biodiversity monitoring systems in South Sumatra
There is often a striking disconnect between communities that create biodiversity frameworks, set targets, and design monitoring system and those that actually implement them. This study aims to (i) develop an integrated (participatory) approach to contextualize available sets of biodiversity indicators to meet specific stakeholders' needs, and (ii) select high-performance and rewarding indicators for participatory forest biodiversity monitoring …
Redd+ measurement, reporting and verification – A cost trap? Implications for financing Redd+MRV costs by result-based payments
The REDD+ initiative applies a market-based approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The difference between the carbon stock of forests under historical deforestation and forest degradation rates and the actual C-stock achieved by forest conservation measures will be compensated financially. The difference in C-stocks is provided by a system of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV). We inves…
Is the contribution of community forest users financially efficient? A household level benefit-cost analysis of community forest management in Nepal
Community forestry in Nepal is considered an exemplary forest management regime. However, the economics behind managing a community forest is not fully studied. This study examines whether the benefits generated from community forest management justify the contributions of forest users. The study is based on a survey of community forest users in Chitwan, Nepal. A household level benefit-cost analysis was performed to quantify and compare the cost…
